It has been good. Would be better if leadership to interest in cultivating new leadership instead of stifling it. TS promotes that they want people to move around to learn more about the business so that they can advance but that doesn't seem to be the case from what I can see.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Would be 401K if better business decisions were made at a higher level. Would be good if there was a true end of the year bonus for all employees.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Leadership seems to be the stem of the complaints I hear about company wide. Old tactics and aggressive ways of handling employees by trying to intimidate them seems to be a trend.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Even though people complain about how little the company seems to care about them being exposed to COVID by not allowing more remote work after being told they were more productive while working remote; the employees try to keep a positive attitude to keep moral up.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Need to show a willingness to listen to create a strong environment of trust that will encourage people to be more vocal and share their ideas. Be adaptable to change during COVID. Actually implement emotional intelligence. Focus on efficiency. Focus on building dynamic teams with strong leadership.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Company needs to improve on hiring people that are more capable/qualified or investing in more training. Wouldn't hurt to hire people who have had actual experience. It would also help if senior management also fully understood how to conduct the role of the individual they were training.
